"It's really easy to say, well, it's done and it's behind us, but it's not that simple," Robinson said. "I would like to think that it would be a positive. To me, it has to be something of confidence boost to be able to come back and win the game in the fourth quarter. I think that there are a lot of plusses that we can build off of. That's what we need to do."
It will mark the final collegiate football game for 17 members of the squad, including team captains Tony Fiammetta (Walkersville, Md.), Jake Flaherty (Wakefield, R.I.), Patrick Shadle (Morgantown, W. Va.) and Bruce Williams (Syracuse, N.Y.), and seniors Curtis Brinkley (Philadelphia, Pa.), A.J.
